My newest Vireya
Well, my lust for plants of the heath heather blueberry family has not subsided after a year, so I bought some more. Here is one that is in bloom now. Hope you all like.
This is a tropical Rhododendron commonly called a Vireya.
I now have about 8 of them and all are under 10 inches tall. All mature enough to flower.
